About us:
The manufacture Acoustic Signature from Suessen, Germany

Acoustic Signature

Acoustic Signa­ture was foun­ded in 1996 in Suessen (district of Goep­pingen, Baden-Wuert­tem­berg). Just one year later mana­ging director and chief developer Gunther Frohn­hoefer presen­ted the first Acoustic Signa­ture high-mass turn­table from his own manu­facture, thus gaining world­wide reco­gni­tion and a repu­tation as an inno­vative company. With the expan­sion of its product portfolio which now also inclu­ded tone­arms and analog acces­sories, Acoustic Signa­ture estab­lished itself as a fixed value in the inter­natio­nal high-end market – with distri­bution part­ners on all five continents.

Acoustic Signature products

The Acoustic Signa­ture team now con­sists of 28 expe­rien­ced emplo­yees. Suppor­ted by state-of-the-art CNC techno­logy and CAD systems our highly qualified engi­neers, elec­trical tech­nicians, pre­cision turners, gold­smiths and other spe­cia­lists contri­bute their skills to fur­ther expand Acoustic Signa­ture’s repu­tation as an abso­lute tech­nology leader.

Arrival of the new milling machine to the Acoustic Signature mnaufactory

News from the factory

The Acoustic Signa­ture team is excited – the new five axis preci­sion milling machine has arri­ved! With 22 tons of weight this was quite a chal­lenge: Two 40 ton trucks were neces­sary for the machine’s deli­very.

The dimen­sions were so huge, that we had to install a new gate to the factorys loading dock first in order to get this 3.9 meter high state of the art produc­tion tool into the manu­factu­ring premises…
